no. not at all.

there are no pointers in java :)

You can use an ArrayList class for the above:

ArrayList m= new ArrayList( ....) ;  // many different constructors exist.

the directory name is the package name. no it does not end in a "package".
for example, java.lang is located in the "folder" java/lang/

Yes, those classes that belong to that package.

Yes, but each one of those files in Ada is a package itself (a child package,
but a package none-the-less). In Java, it is silly to have a package that
contains only ONE class. (i.e. a directory that contains one file). usually
a package contains few classes at least, and it is not uncommon to have 10-20
classes (files) in one directory (package) in Java.
